PRODUTTORI del BARBARESCO

Our Wines

	Nebbiolo Langhe DOC This wine is produced every year by the Produttori del Barbaresco; it ranges from 10 to 30% of the total production depending on the quality of the vintage (the better the vintage is the less Nebbiolo is produced). It is a second label for the Barbaresco and it is made with the grapes from young vines or those vineyards that produced a less intense and concentrated juice. It still has the quality necessary to be classified a Barbaresco, but the Winery declassifies it in order to sell it at a younger age and maintain the Barbaresco quality as high as possible.

	Barbaresco DOCG Barbaresco DOCG is produced every year from the 100 hectares of vineyards controlled by the Produttori within the appellation, mainly in the Barbaresco village itself. In the best vintages, when the quality of the grapes is great everywhere, the historical crus are vinified separately and Barbaresco is then produced with the grapes from the remaining vineyards. In normal vintages, the crus are not produced and their grapes go in the Barbaresco blend, therefore enhancing the quality of the final wine. Thanks to the variety of vineyards, every year Barbaresco from the "Produttori" is the truest expression of the vintage with great harmony and balanced.

	Barbaresco DOCG Riserva The nine single-vineyard Barbaresco produced by the Produttori del Barbaresco are all situated in the Barbaresco village boundary and have been famous for more than a century as top sites for Nebbiolo quality production. Here the soil, exposure, slope and drainage, [in one word the microclimate,] reaches its peak to create a crop of great quality and unique personality.
